IMPROVEMENT IN MARKING-rows.

The Schedule referred to in these .Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. GREEN, of the city, county, and State of New York,.have invented a new and useful Improvement in Marking-Pot; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, aud exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawiug forming part of this specification.

'I his'invention relates toa new and useful improvement inV pots or vessels for containing paint or liquid for marking' boxes, bales of goods, and lfor all of the purposes for which marking-pots are used; and l s It consists in a self-closing valve,'arranged, in connection withthe 'handle in such a manuel-"that when the pot is not in use it is elosed'by the valve, and when held by the handle it is open, as will "be hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a top view of the pot.

Figure 2 is a vertical section on the line a' :v of'g,

1, showing, also, the position of thehandle andvalvei.

Similar letters otl reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the pot or vessel, of ordinary shape and size, but to the fnnnel-shaped top B there is attached a,

tube, C, the lower' end of which. forms a vseat for the valve.

' I) is the valve.

E is a spring attached to the valve,and tothe top of the pot, as seen at 11. A.

G is the stem of the valve.

H is a rod 'attached to the stern, extcndi11g/upward through the top of the pot.

I is the handle of the pot., which is pivoted to pro- `teeting ears at its lower end, so thatit may assume the position seen in dotted lines in iig. 2.

J is a slotted cam attached to the handle, project ing over the pot, as seen in the drawing. ,The rod H passes up throughl the slot in this carn,'and is raised and lowered thereby, as the handle is raised and lowered.

The rod H has a vertical motion, or a motion parthe handle, as secu in fig. 2.

'allel with the side of the pot, and is connected with the cam by a nut, K, and washers, Il, above the cam,

and washer m on the short guide-tube m'thro'ugh. which tube the rod passes. As the handle is raised' andlowered, the cam is drawn back. and forth between the washers. f

When there is painter marking-fluid in the pot, tov

spring E will close the valve, y which action of the spring will draw down the rod and -oamrand elevate A weight, instead ot a spring, may be used to produce this effect, it' desired.

i O is Va clasp, 'att-ached to the funnel B, for holding` down the cam and keeping the valve closed when the pot is to be carried from place to place.

I i's'a recess on the side of the pot for holding the v.

markingbrnsh. 'lhe top or cover R is removably attaohed Ato the pot by the clasps S. Y

By this arrangement the niarkingpot is made perfectly secure. When not in immediate use, it is al- --way's tightly closed. No evaporation canV take place,

as no portion of the liquid sexposed to the' atmosphere. lf the pot is upset, 'the contents cannot esca-pei.

Ihe advantages of this inode of constructing markinffpots must be obvious to all.

aving thus described my invention, I'claim as new and desire to secure by Letters YatentffIhe combination of the valve D and the handle 1 with a 1na-rkingpot,whep the same are connected together and arranged to operate 'substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
